Use toilets outdoors for BM’s. Dig a shallow hole, squat &
cover like DUB THE DOG does. - Take sponge baths in the
bathroom sink. Bathe the dirty parts. A weekly shower is
ENOUGH, with bird baths the rest of the time.
In winter, if you have wood stove going; cook on the wood
stove or cook on the grill outside. (Be sure to put your
grill someplace NOT attached to your house - FIRE HAZARD!
Use oil lamps for your light. (Get used to LESS light fast!)
Keep freezer closed; also keep fridge closed as much as is
possible.
Relax. Don’t get up so early if you don’t have to. Early
mornings are great for grumpiness and aching joints.
LOWER YOUR STANDARDS. (Dust shows up worse when you have
to use a flashlight. KEEP A FLASHLIGHT with fairly fresh
batteries installed on your nightstand.)
For bathroom usage. Don’t flush like a fanatic. Let all
pee in the commode; then flush when it gets rough.
IF IT’S YELLOW; LET IT MELLOW! IF IT’S BROWN, FLUSH IT
DOWN!
ROUGH IT!
"One quart of water is all you need!"
Photobucket is giving me serious problems. I want to post an article from an old 1880 book HILL'S MANUAL OF SOCIAL AND BUSINESS FORMS, but Photobucket will not let me for some reason. I've about had it with them.
Anyway, the photo is instructions on how to use ONE QUART of water to keep yourself clean.
Baby wipes come in handy.
And remember your pets - some people don’t think sufficiently of that in their prepping.
If you’re “letting it mellow”, have a bottle of bleach on the toilet tank and put a capful of the bleach into the soup after your donation. It will keep the aroma down to a tolerable level.
